i am gobsmacked!!!! that looked amazing!firstly - everything was so cheap! nothing is that cheap in london! secondly - where was everybody?!?! i'm so used to getting the elbows out to fight for a bargain!i think the closest we have to that is charity shops but all the people that work in vintage shops go and buy up all the good stuff to sell for more in their shops!right thats it. i am officially moving to melbourne!fantastic episode, i so enjoy watching your little shows! xxx

A great episode. An op shopper after my own heart. I passed on two $4 pairs of Salvatore Ferragamos that fit me in an op shop earlier this year. The buckles were a little tarnished and I was trying to kick the addiction of op shopping so I passed. Boo hoo. I did find, from same store a Gucci (genuine) horsebit tote for $10. Bought that. Only time I've squeaked at an op shop find and had heart palpitations.

I thoroughly enjoyed that.I have never been in the slavos before and was pleasantly suprised. I loved that 70's jacket (black and white) and those boudoir slippers.I will have to go and look at that salvos when I'm in Melbourne :)

:( reminds me of all the good bargains to be had in melburn.i hate beyond retro and it's ilk for taking away these amazing clothes and whacking on a 'vintage tax' utter bastards!i was thinking about the giant savers in frankston that my friends and i used to do a road trip to go to, only the other day :(

Oh Lady M, I just love you to bits! I love that you kept your cool while someone was hacking up a lung in the background, I love that you referenced my dream of finding authentic Louis Vuitton in an op-shop, and I love LADY M TV.

I'm glad you mentioned The Dress Company. I've often seen that label in many of the pieces I've come across second hand. I also own a dress (which i transformed into a shirt) from that brand with the most exquisite fabric.

You must be curious....
